Notes

  • The leading goalkicker was Gordon Coventry of Collingwood
  • The Brownlow Medal was won by Ivor Warne-Smith
  • One of the most unusual games was played at Corio Oval in round six, between Fitzroy and Geelong. The game finished with Fitzroy registering a final score of 2.27 (39), hitting the goalposts 5 times, and only scoring their final goal in time on of the last quarter. This remains as the most innacurate performance from any team (Not including St Kildas score of 0.1 (1) in 1899).
